Newbie question here, how do you locate a specific widget in flutter? Like in android studio, you can just double click the item in the preview then it will automatically jump into the code.
You can inspect widgets bt using the Flutter Inspector in Android Studio
Just click View-> Tool Windows -> Flutter Inspector

I have installed latest version of Android Studio as well as all the necessary plugins such as Dart and Flutter. When I run an application and hit the Flutter Inspector tab on the right side of the screen, the Flutter Inspector window pops up with a message saying "The JxBrowser license could not be found".
I have tried all the workarounds indicated in this thread but were to no avail.
Is there anything I missed about the JxBrowser or something?
I've experienced the same message. But I think I've found a temporal way to use the inspector on Android Studio without Layout Explorer (Visualization part for widgets) before Flutter team fixing it.
Go to Preferences > Languages & Frameworks > Flutter and uncheck Enable embedding DevTools in the Flutter Inspector tool window
Then you can use it without Layout Explorer inside Android Studio.
But, if you have to use such a Layout Explorer, then you can use the DevTools in the browser.
Recently, I updated my android studio to bumblebee version, and when I run my codes, I realized that my emulator are shown inside of my android studio instead of creating a new window for the emulator. you can see what I mean, here.
does anybody knows how to fix this? I already tried to change the settings but nothing is changed. should I reverse the update?
I had the same issue, to resolve it do the following:
In Android Studio: click on
File,
Settings,
Click on the Tools dropdown,
Emulator,
uncheck the "Launch in a tool Window" box
Settings with Launch in a tool window checkbox
I brought an app source code from (CodeCanyon) and i want to change the side navigation drawer icon from the given one to the default hamburger icon or something.
They have given me the docs of Flutter page to change it using Flutter Inspector but i don't know how to do it.
Here is the link they send me...
https://flutter.dev/docs/development/tools/devtools/inspector
Help me out...
From Android Studio, run the application in an Emulator or real device.
In the debug tab of Android Studio the 'Open DevTools' button (its icon is the Dart logo) next to the Hot Reload and Hot Restart buttons. This will launch a Dart DevTools tab.
After the new browser tab opens, click the "Try DevTools beta" button in the top right of the screen. This will take you to a new beta version of DevTools.
From there you will see what the linked page is talking about, but you must be on the latest version of Flutter.
On 25th june flutter has declared the stable dev tool, in that if you want to change in ui then,you just have to open dev tool with your connected device and in Flutter inspector enable the select widget mode. and in layout explorer you can changes the ui design properties. But remember one thing you can only changes in the row, column and container properties.
In Android Studio 3.5.3 , the menu Tools->AVD Manager and View->Tools Windows->Logcat is not available when a newly(or existing) flutter project is opened.
I looked at https://github.com/flutter/flutter-intellij/issues/2159 , and
<module type="JAVA_MODULE" version="4">
is in the outer most iml file.
Please suggest how to find/enable it. For now I have to open an Android project to open these two menu items.
LogCat won't appear for a flutter project and does not seem to be available to enable in the current version of Android Studio. If you open an Android project in another window, THAT window will have LogCat which can be connected to the device you are trying to debug.
AVD Manager does not have a menu item in Flutter but is available from an icon in the toolbar. See picture.
It's also worth checking out DevTools, which opens up in the browser, as an additional (not LogCat) debugging resource. The button to this is found in the Run Window when you are running an app.
There two ways to find or unable it
1. Go to the View-> Tool Windows and you can choose whatever you want to put in Tool WindowBar
2. Go to the View-> And Tick or select on Tool Window Bars
After doing that you can see the logs for particular apps, And for AVD manager...
Go to the Tools-> AVD Manager
Somehow I closed the logcat tab from the debug window and now I am unable to get it back.
In Run->Configuration->Logcat I have everything checked.
I do have the logcat tab in Android Monitor window, but not in Debug.
How can I get it back?
I created a bug on on their bug-tracker: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-144525
I think with the release of Android Studio 1.4 the logcat tab has been removed from the Debug view. Now I believe the only place to access it is by opening the Android Monitor view by pressing Alt+6 on Windows or CMD+6 on Mac.
Release notes of Android Studio 1.4 Beta 3 allude to this:
Logcat view mostly rewritten to address a number of stability and usability bugs
In Android Monitor window, click the little tiny button on the top right corner.
No one has seemed to mention this, but make sure you are inside the "android" directory and not the root directory of your project (React Native). Logcat will not display otherwise.
Click on Android Monitor at the bottom of the screen.
and then you should see there are a tab call "Logcat" next to "Memory" tab.
In Android Studio 3.5.2, Logcat can be shown from View > Tool Windows > Logcat
For some reason in a specific project, it wasn't found using this way, but I could fix it as following:
File > Project Structure > Facets > Add > Android > my_module
While I would be a little late for the party, it has been a few years and new version of Studio.
Today when you encounter the bug, your logcat would not be shown, to resolve this you would need to follow these steps:
Menu -> Build -> Make Project
in your settings.gradle comment out everything and sync.
uncomment everything and sync again.
Menu -> Build -> Make Project
Once the project build is done.. your Studio would be ready.
I have encountered several different bugs related to this issue, this scenario covers most of these cases.
Given solutions not worked for me.
I found another solution
Click
View-> Tool Windows -> Logcat
Then the missing Logcat tab appears again.
Android Studio IDE version: (Android Studio Electric Eel | 2022.1.1 Canary 8)
It was working fine and it disappeared suddenly.
After nothing else worked, I ran adb devices to see if my device was correctly attached and TA DA.
adb server wasn't running and started automatically and Android Studio started to show Logcat as always.
➜ adb devices
List of devices attached
* daemon not running; starting now at tcp:5037
* daemon started successfully
0030713775 device
press alt 6.
If you still don't see it there should be a little icon in the top-right corner of the view, press that.
Top Menu:
View -> Tool Windows -> Logcat
Bottom bar:
View -> Appearance -> Tool Windows Bar
